chapter 29
[Episode 07] Seomyeon Station (2)
For Seo Ye-jin, today was a series of surprises.
‘What the hell is it?’
As usual, mice were released in all directions in search of food.
However, among them, he felt fear from a mouse wandering in the underground shopping center of Jeonpo Station and immediately shared the sensation.
A shocking scene unfolded before her eyes.
‘People who slaughter Orcs.’
I’ve seen Orcs slaughtering people, but I’ve never seen the opposite happen today.
A woman who turns into a bear.
A woman who makes her body shine.
A man who summons armor.
A woman holding a glimmer of light in an arrow.
A man who teleports.
A man who handles crows.
In particular, the presence of a woman who turns into a bear was overwhelming.
In addition, the appearance of a man fighting with a spear was unusual. I didn’t use any special abilities, but at a glance I could feel that I wasn’t an ordinary person.
‘Perhaps all of them are Awoken…’
So far, we have discovered countless groups of survivors.
Most of them were ordinary people, and even if there were Awoken people, there was only one case.
It was an unbelievable probability that everyone was a party made up of Awoken people.
‘Is that possible?’
But the real shock was the real beginning.
It was when I got out of Jeonpo Station following them.
“Go there!”
“Drive!”
“Kick-!”
Seo Ye-jin was dazed for a moment after seeing the scene.
‘What is that again?’
Humans were hunting goblins.
‘what···?’
I’ve seen countless scenes of people fighting goblins in the past month.
But most of them were struggles for survival. Rather, it was the goblins who hunted, and the humans battled against them.
However, the scene unfolding before my eyes was quite the opposite.
“Kill!”
“Kikiiik-!”
Groups of humans were systematically hunting goblins.
The people systematically drove the goblins to a dead end and attacked them mercilessly.
It seemed so familiar.
As if it had already happened several times.
The weapons held by the people also varied.
Hammers, kitchen knives, golf clubs, aluminum bats, etc.
Starting with the commonly available ones, there were also rare people holding spears or bows.
‘It’s a spear that the Orcs are holding.’
It was clear that the handful of men were holding glaives, the weapons that Orcs usually use.
It didn’t seem like they got it by hunting orcs. Because it didn’t look that powerful.
just as expected.
“Hunters!”
“Ducksoo!”
They pretended to know the party that was slaughtering orcs.
The party that was slaughtering orcs naturally accepted the greeting.
‘Was it the same group?’
Then it makes sense that they have Orc spears.
“Mister! Take this! Aren’t there a lot of people who don’t have a window yet? Share it!”
They started handing out the orc glaives they were carrying as trophies.
‘Also.’
After handing out the glaive, they started moving again, and in the direction they were walking, there was a huge apartment complex.
I’m starting to understand a little bit now.
‘That awakened party was the leader of a large group of survivors.’
A group of survivors made up of 8 awakened people.
Even if you think about it, it was clear that there were at least a few thousand survivors.
It was because the ratio of Awakeners was about one in a thousand.
‘Should I join?’
Gradually, it was becoming difficult for her to take responsibility for everyone on her own.
Running a large survivor’s shelter for thousands of people must have plenty of drinking water and food.
If so, it was well worth contacting.
‘If it’s my ability, I can appeal enough.’
Thirty survivors led by her will be accepted enough.
Seo Ye-jin knew very well that she was worth that much.
‘Before that, let’s take a look.’
After handing out the glaive, I carefully followed the Awoken party back to the apartment complex.
As soon as Seo Ye-jin entered the apartment complex, she had to face another shocking scene.
“Kyahahahaha!”
“Go!”
“mom! Look here!”
Seo Ye-jin was confused about whether the scene she was seeing was real or fake.
‘Are there kids playing on the playground?’
Of course, it was a common sight to see anywhere before the world was destroyed.
But now it was a world where monsters were rampant everywhere.
‘What the hell is this place…’
He couldn’t believe that this was the same world he had been through the past month.
It was then.
“Yes, Jin.”
Hearing the familiar voice, he released his sensory sharing with the mouse and opened his eyes.
“What’s going on, Jung-soo?”
“I feel like I’m really at my limit now. The most important water has run out. What should we do?”
Seo Ye-jin laughed.
I saw the children playing in the playground until just now, but now they are hiding in the basement of a building and worrying about drinking water.
I was suddenly thrown from the world of fairy tales onto the cold floor of reality.
‘I was stupid to worry about it.’
Thanks to you, I was able to harden my heart.
Han Jung-soo, who was watching, said.
“sorry. have no face I always rely on you like this.”
Seo Ye-jin replied with a smile at Han Jung-soo’s words.
“It’s not like that. I think I can find a way out somehow.”
“With a bow?” “Yes. I’ll tell you more later, so tell people to prepare first.”
“What preparation?”
“Ready to go out.”
Han Jung-soo asked again with his eyes wide open.
“Out? Are you going out?”
“yes. Or are you all going to wither and die here?”
“It’s not like that…”
“If you want to live, stop nagging and tell them to prepare.”
“···Okay.”
Seo Ye-jin confirmed that Han Jeong-soo was leaving and closed her eyes again to demonstrate her ability.
I missed the Awakened party because of the conversation with Han Jung-soo, but it was easy to know where they went.
Because there was a place where people came and went the most.
‘Why are there so many people in this building alone?’
I was waiting to sneak in, but I didn’t get a chance.
After waiting for so long, the opportunity finally came.
‘now!’
The moment when the mouse, under Seo Ye-jin’s order, was about to enter the apartment while teasing its dainty limbs.
puck!
Take-!
A mouse that had its head stuck in the transparent wall bounced out.
And a strange window appeared in front of my eyes.
[No entry.]
‘······What is this again?’
when i was confused
[Would you like to obtain citizenship?]
[Yes No]
Walls and citizenship to keep intruders out.
And children and parents playing leisurely in a playground a little away from here.
The moment she grasped their context, Seo Ye-jin had no choice but to nod her head roughly.
“Yes! yes! Absolutely yes!”
It was clear that someone with the ability to protect people was here.
It is clear that they are united around that person.
This citizenship seemed to qualify for entry into the person’s protection.
Tring!
[You have acquired citizenship.]
did it happen?
Seo Ye-jin carefully let the mouse into the apartment.
This time, he didn’t feel the transparent wall blocking him.
However, as soon as I entered the apartment, I ran into a person.
“It’s a mouse!”
“Kyaaah!”
For some reason, there were more people on the first floor than she expected, and she had to run away urgently.
“Run away!”
“catch!”
People who don’t know the circumstances made a fuss to catch mice.
‘Eak!’
The mouse quickly ran to the emergency exit and started climbing the stairs with all its might.
The moment I entered the second floor through the emergency stairs.
‘!!’
An unexpected sight unfolded.
Treadmills, bench presses, chest presses, city draws, and so on, were filled with tons of exercise equipment.
And what’s more surprising than that is the LED light bulbs shining brightly from the ceiling and the exciting music playing like background music throughout the gym.
♪♬―♩―!
‘This···.’
It was like time travel.
I feel like I entered a gym somewhere before the world was destroyed.
It was a landscape he could not have imagined at all, to the point where he thought that what he was seeing was a dream.
That moment.
Kwajik!
“Ugh!”
With a sudden shock, sensory sharing was forcibly cut off.
It meant that someone had caught a mouse there.
‘Ah. It’s the head.’
Thanks to that, I felt a shattering headache, but a smile blossomed on my lips nonetheless.
“Ha ha, ha ha ha ha!”
I found a way to live!
‘The problem is how to get there…’
This was written.
Realistically, it was too far to get there.
It used to be a mere fifteen minutes on foot, but not now.
‘Because I have to go through the monster field.’
If you actively use the mice, a few people including yourself will be able to move.
However, it was unreasonable to take all the people over thirty.
inevitably perish.
‘I just need to get to Jeonpo Station somehow.’
From there, there were few monsters.
Perhaps that Awakened party had it all sorted out.
So, as long as you get there somehow, the road to the apartment is wide open.
‘Is there really only one way?’
In the meantime, I had been steadily scouting using mice, so I had a quick grasp of the surroundings.
How to safely get to Jeonpo Station with 30 survivors.
There was only one.
‘I can use the subway tracks, but.’
According to what I found out through the mice, there were surprisingly few monsters inside Seomyeon Station.
However, there was a reason why there were so few monsters.
‘Because there is that <monster> at Seomyeon Station.’

Just thinking about him gave me goosebumps all over my body.
It was such a scary subject.
It was a monster that could not be compared to goblins or orcs.
‘But, because of that, there is a possibility.’
He was also a creature after all.
I thought it would be worth trying if I was aiming for a gap in my sleep.
Because fighting him wasn’t the goal anyway.
You just need to be able to sneak away.
‘I’ll make good use of the mice.’
***
‘Ugh?’
My heart sank when I saw a mouse being trampled to death by Hyungjun Choi at the gym.
It was because he thought Seo Ye-jin had turned into a mouse.
By the way.
[You hunted a tamed mouse (Lv. 2).]
[A small amount of experience is acquired.]
[1,416 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
‘Well?’
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.
When I checked the citizen management window, Seo Ye-jin’s name was still there.
‘phew.’
Looking at her awakening ability, I was able to grasp the whole story.
Mouse Queen (Class A)
All mice that come into contact with her swear allegiance to the queen.
Once tamed, mice can be manipulated like limbs and can share their senses.
‘He must have been controlling mice.’
That said, there was no direct contact, but it was also interesting that citizenship proposals could be made even in this case.
It was then.
“yes?”
Out of the living room window, I saw a nice guy.
‘That one?’
In a way, you can say that he saved me.
Of course, that guy wasn’t like that.
That’s what that bastard’s paper is like.
‘Kelican.’
Could it be that there is a meeting place only for the Kelicans near my house?
This was already the third appearance.
‘Well, thanks to that I survived.’
If it wasn’t for the guy who came to me for the first time, I would have died without being able to do anything.
In that respect, I felt a little gratitude to the Kelicans.
But this time, his gaze was not on me.
He was looking at the playground below with the eyes of a hunter.
It seemed to be aiming at ordinary citizens playing in the playground.
‘It can’t be like that. The invisible hand.’
The transparent hand that escaped from my body opened the living room window roughly and reached straight for it.
snap!
– Keek!?
I grabbed one of its wings and pulled it roughly towards it.
cooong!
[Unauthorized target attempts to enter.]
It rubbed against the transparent wall, struggling to get out of my grasp.
I muttered when I saw that guy.
“nice to meet.”
-Keeek-!
“Summon a vassal, Ha Dong-gun.”
shushuk
“Well?”
Ha Dong-gun, who was suddenly summoned, saw Kelican struggling in the living room window and said.
“Can I handle it?”
“Yes, please.”
I bought a supply spear from the store and handed it over to Ha Dong-gun.
hooked!
Ha Dong-gun quickly stabbed the spear and decapitated the struggling Kelican.
[You have hunted Kelican (Lv. 25).]
[Acquire experience points.]
[38,567,987 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]
[Skill level has increased.]
while leveling up.
Gee-
‘Ugh.’
The area of each corner of the house exploded and swallowed the two buildings on either side in an instant.
